How do you take the tingling sensation away?
When you eat an orange and your lips touch the orange skin it causes an unpleasant tingling sensation.
Answers:
Honey works real good to not only take the tingly sensation away,, but if you get raw honey,, there's a bit of bee's wax in the honey,, so it will coat you lips against further citrus invasion
i knoww
i hate that
dont eat the skin..
thats cuzz you r lacking the vitamin c u need that
That's the citric acid from the orange touching the sensitive skin of your lips.
The lip cells are the same as genital cells, to give you an idea of sensitivity threshold.
Avoid touching the orange with your lips.
Put on chap stick beforehand.
It could be the acid in the orange oil found in the zest of the orange peel. Only the zest has the orange oil, the zest is the colored layer of the peel. The white layer of the peel is the pith/pithe (sp?), which has no orange oil.
Peel it completely before eating it.
dont let your lips touch the orange skin
I peel it first-- don't like the bitterness of the oil in the peel
